h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Here's a soup to help you through the winter. I'm a Canadian and beieive me , during the winter months, we need all the comfort we can get! The recipe. Take about 3 tablesppons of butter, and a finely chopped medium sized onion and suate until tender. Add some Thyme (as much as you want). Stir for about 1 minute. Then add a whole bunch of mushrooms which have been chopped in a food processor. Cook until mushrooms are tender. Then add about 3 tablespoons of flour, cook to brown the flour, stirring constantly. Add coarsley ground pepper, stir again. Then add a good shot of brandy or sherry to deglaze the pan. After you have scraped up the brownny bits, add about 3 cups of chicken stock, stirring constantly. Cook for a while to thicken slightly then add some chopped spinach and a dash of cream. You may also add some whole pepper corns at the firsr stages of cooking if you like that crunchy flavour. I cook this often in order to stave off the frost and if I want to think of exotic places, I use wild mushrooms instead of your average button variety. Portebello work beautifully! Enjoy!

Mmmm... mushrooms and cream - sound delicious!
